Lately one thing that has puzzled me a bit is the response to the new Splinter Cell by many of its fans. Yesterday I watched the latest Splinter Cell Blacklist trailer and an extended playthrough with one of the Ubisoft developers on IGN, and from most of these videos is an outpouring of hate, claiming that the changes in Splinter Cell are terrible, too action oriented, basically that it's not the same as the original Splinter Cell's. Fans complain that Call of Duty and others are rehashing the same old thing every sequel, but when Splinter Cell and many other games change and tweak the formula, the purists rage at it for not being the exact same. Perhaps my question is: does the video game community really want developers to think outside the box and bring new ideas, or do they want the familiarity of tried and true formulas? What are your thoughts on SC Blacklist or the video game community in general? This is just my opinion, feel free to disagree...
